NCAA Eligibility & PRO LEAGUES
NCAA Amateurism Rules
Please contact the certifying institution or conference for additional information. You also may contact the NCAA membership services staff at 317/917-6222 should you have further questions.
In response to the NCAA membership's concerns about amateurism issues related to both international and domestic prospective student-athletes, President Myles Brand has authorized the creation of a new clearinghouse to address amateurism issues.
Beginning August 1, 2006, the NCAA Amateurism Certification Clearinghouse will be the processing center for determining the amateurism eligibility of domestic and international freshman and transfer prospective student-athletes initially enrolling at NCAA Divisions I and II member institutions on or after August 1, 2007. [Note: In NCAA Division III, certification of an individual's amateurism status is completed by each institution, not the Amateurism Certification Clearinghouse.

Early Spring 2006 is the target date to have prospects begin completing the amateurism questionnaire when they register with the clearinghouse. As new information regarding the Amateurism Certification Clearinghouse becomes available, the NCAA's Web site will be updated.
Registering with the Clearinghouse
Prospective student-athletes may register with the amateurism certification clearinghouse via the Internet at the beginning of their junior year in high school. As part of the registration process, each prospect will be asked to answer several questions regarding his or her sports participation history. Early registration with the Amateurism Certification Clearinghouse will allow institutions to have preliminary information regarding a prospect's amateurism status, which will promote consistency in the recruiting process. Final certifications of amateur status will occur at the end of the prospective student-athlete's senior year of high school or approximately two to three months prior to initial full-time enrollment at an NCAA Division I or II institution.
Certification of NCAA Division I and II amateurism rules
The certification will not cover all areas of NCAA Bylaw 12. Institutions will be responsible for determining the amateurism status of prospective student-athletes for the areas of the amateurism bylaws not covered by the Amateurism Certification Clearinghouse. In addition, institutions will be responsible for certifying compliance for all amateurism bylaws during the time period between the student-athlete's amateurism certification and his or her initial enrollment at an NCAA institution.
The scope of the Amateurism Certification Clearinghouse's review may include:
Contracts with a professional team.
Salary for participating in athletics.
Prize money above actual and necessary expenses.
Play with professionals.
Educational expenses from an individual (or entity) other than the prospect's parents.
Preferential treatment based on athletics participation or reputation.
Tryouts, practice or competition with a professional team.
Benefits from an agent or prospective agent.
Agreement to be represented by an agent.
